About this book

The skin is colored by a blend of pigments, which form part of a complex and highly regulated process. Pigmentary defects normally present with dyschromia and can be caused by genetic defects, systemic disease, inflammatory processes, metabolic defects, infections, tumors, or toxic or iatrogenic causes. This atlas is an extensive text written by key opinion leaders within dermatology, it has a comprehensive format that guides the reader through the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and differential diagnosis of both common and rare pigmentary disorders. It illustrates the diagnosis and recognition of pigmentary disorders with a wide range of images.

Reviews

“This is a beautiful atlas of color photographs of rare and common pigmentary disorders. The emphasis is on the photographs that show a high level of detail of characteristic pigmentary changes. … The purpose is to educate physicians on recognizing and diagnosing more accurately pigmentary disorders. The audience is physicians. … I enjoyed seeing rare syndromes that are not covered in other books on pigment disorders.” (Patricia Wong, Doody's Book Reviews, December, 2016)
